The Republican Party is rapidly becoming a Christian Nationalist organization, according to a new analysis from PRRI. The polling group found that while about one-third of Americans are “adherents” or “sympathizers” of Christian Nationalism, the number jumps to 56% among Republicans.
It’s a sign that the GOP will continue ignoring the Constitution and church/state separation while doubling down on the false beliefs that we were founded as a “Christian nation” and should be governed by whatever conservative claim are Christian values. I would add that these same people have no problem ignoring the blatant rejection of those values by their own political leaders, whether we’re talking about affairs, corruption, or whatever else Ken Paxton is up to today. And that’s before we even get into how all these people are attempting to brush aside the Epstein-Trump Scandal.
The percentages of Americans who support or reject Christian Nationalism have held relatively steady for the past few years. But because it’s becoming more possible to live in your own reality bubble, we can now see precisely where the extremism is fomenting.
